Cruise ship runs aground off Italy

[Updated at 10:30 a.m. Feb 22: Eight more bodies discovered in shipwrecked Costa Concordia]

[Updated at 8:38 a.m. Jan. 18: Recording in cruise ship disaster casts captain in bad light]

[Updated at 8:14 a.m. Jan. 17: Five more bodies pulled from wrecked ship]

[Updated at 5:45 p.m. Jan. 16:  Sixth victim found in Italian cruise ship wreck]

The Costa Concordia hit an obstacle off the tiny island of Giglio on the Tuscan coast late on Friday, Jan. 13, tearing a 160-foot gash in its hull and sending in a rush of water.

By the next morning, the ship was lying virtually on its side, its starboard side submerged in the water and the gash showing clearly on its upturned hull.

The ship’s captain remains in custody as an investigation continues into how the luxury cruise ship ran aground and tipped over off the Italian coast.

A prosecutor says he was surprised by “the recklessness of the maneuver made by the captain,” who has been charged with manslaughter.

    IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE CAPTAIN OR WHOMEVER WAS AT THE HELM, STEERED FOR THE LIGHTHOUSE AND DID NOT TURN AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO REMAIN IN THE DEEP CHANNEL, POSSIBLY MISSING THE CHANNEL MARKER BUOY AT THE TURN POINT, HIS RADAR SHOULD OF DISPLAYED IT . IF HE WAS EXCEEDING THE SAFE SPEED FOR THE VESSEL'S ABILITY OF THE SHIP TO NEGOTIATE THE TURN THAT WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE INCIDENT

    I consider ourselves lucky that we've never had such an irresponsible captain on any of our pacific cruises. What happened with the Concordia is just wrong on so many levels.

    This is precisely why I'm very picky about the cruise ships I board. I'm not too keen on having my time for r & r ruined by a tragedy like this.
